Grafaiai revealed for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Trainers can look forward to a newly discovered Pokémon for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet! Today it was announced that Grafaiai, a Toxic Monkey Pokémon, was identified in the Paldea region after a mysterious set of images were teased on Pokémon social channels. Check out Grafaiai’s reveal debut trailer on the official Pokémon YouTube channel.

Grafaiai is a moody Pokémon with a fastidious disposition. It doesn’t form packs, preferring to roam alone, and it is constantly caught up in territorial struggles with other Pokémon. Grafaiai specializes in using its poisonous saliva—which changes color depending on what the Pokémon eats—to attack foes by spitting at them or by slashing at them after coating its claws with the saliva.Grafaiai is nocturnal and once the sun sets it licks its hands and fingers to cover them in poison and uses them to draw patterns on the trees in its territory. The poisonous saliva it uses to paint paralyzes Bug Pokémon, which are drawn to the saliva’s sweet, fragrant scent.
